I don't think there is a filter system on the market that will remove Fluoride.
I spoke with reps of the Seagull home water purification systems {which of
course they say is the best money can buy} but nowhere in their information
material does it state theirs will remove Fluoride, everything else seemingly
<g> but nowhere does it state Fluoride removal.
My understanding is RO is the only way to remove it, and that I am led to
believe is fairly cost prohibitive for the home.

What about the Fluoride
removal, for the town dwellers?

The
filters that remove chlorine don’t necessarily remove chloramine.
Chloramine
can be removed for drinking water purposes by a carbon block or activated
carbon filter that can be installed on a kitchen faucet. Also, both chlorine
and chloramine can be removed for bathing purposes by dissolving Vitamin C in
the bath water. One 1000 mg Vitamin C tablet will neutralize chloramine in an
average bathtub. (18)
There
are no shower filters on the market that completely remove
chloramine. (19) There
are, however, whole
house water filters that remove chlorine, chloramine, and other
contaminants. Unfortunately, they’re quite expensive and thus may
not be an option for many people.
Vitamin
C shower filters may be a good choice for those looking for an
inexpensive way to reduce the chloramine (and chlorine) content of their
showers. Vitamin C is an effective dechlorination agent, removing up to 99%
of
chlorine and chloramine, and vitamin C filters are much less expensive than
the whole house filter featured above. The disadvantage to using them is
they’re not as durable or effective as a whole house filtration system, and
you would need a separate filter for each shower outlet in the house.
